Chapter 2017: Chapter 2020: The Sincerity of the Nine Heavens Palace and Ling Xiao’s Ambition

”That’s impossible.”

Xuan Ming hesitated for a moment and shook his head directly. What a joke, making him apologize?

If it were in private, that would be one thing, but in front of so many people, how could he possibly do it?

”Let’s go!”

With a wave of his wide sleeves, he turned and left with his recruited disciples.

As he departed, he threw back a sentence at Ling Xiao, ”You’ll regret it!”

Ling Xiao didn’t respond, he just smiled faintly. He, Ling Xiao, never regrets his decisions, even if it leads to his death; it’s his choice, so what’s there to regret?

He looked at Jiutian Meng and said, ”Palace Master, could you accept my few friends to train at Nine Heavens Palace?”

”Of course.”

Out of so many people, only Ling Xiao chose the Nine Heavens Palace. For Jiutian Meng, Ling Xiao showed them such a great sign of respect, so what’s the harm in accepting a few more people?

Moreover, Ling Xiao’s friends are not lacking in talent.

Although Nine Heavens Palace previously only accepted female disciples, the current circumstances have changed, and with Nine Heavens Palace’s decline, to compete against the forces of Xuanwu Continent, they must change their stubborn outdated ways.

Accepting both male and female disciples is indeed an attempt.

”Don’t worry, Ling Xiao, whatever rewards the Xuanwu Divine Hall can offer you, our Nine Heavens Palace will do its best to provide.

Leng Mei, Joshua Long, Lan Xue, and Red Moon as well.”

Jiutian Meng was in high spirits, as Nine Heavens Palace re-entered the Mortal World and managed to recruit so many people—it truly was a great fortune.

In the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts, the likes of Wine Demon Sword had long been waiting there.

Earlier, Ling Xiao had set up a teleportation array to the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts, using Xuanwu Divine Hall’s base as a foundation.

This was to escape the pursuit of Xuanwu Divine Hall.

As long as they hid in the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts, Xuanwu Divine Hall’s people would find it very difficult to locate them.

With the assistance of the Ten Thousand Thunder Exorcism Array, Ling Xiao wasn’t afraid of Xuanwu Divine Hall’s impudence.

However, the situation had changed now, and the appearance of Nine Heavens Palace made Ling Xiao alter his original plan.

He hoped Ji Luoyu and the others could also enter Nine Heavens Palace for cultivation.

Although Ji Luoyu and Fengming Lian’s talents weren’t as good as Joshua Long’s, they were still better than most Martial Artists.

They deserve better cultivation opportunities.

As for Mo Yu and Zhu Shao Cong, their talents might be slightly inferior to Ji Luoyu and Fengming Lian.

Yet, they still belong to the ranks of geniuses.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been selected for this White Tiger Summit’s final list.

Nine Heavens Palace was extremely welcoming to them.

After handing these people over to Ling Xiao, Hong Qi and Wine Demon Sword bid their farewells.

Their target was precisely Xuanwu Continent.

They went to investigate the true purpose of the Five Great Forces of the Western Region, something Ling Xiao greatly wished to learn.

With these two sticking together, Ling Xiao was reassured.

Hong Qi’s cultivation level was nearing the Reincarnation Realm, and among Reincarnation Realm Martial Artists, Wine Demon Sword was an outstanding figure, no less than the elders of those Five Great Forces.

They had every qualification to travel to Xuanwu Continent.

After parting ways, Ling Xiao and others followed Jiutian Meng into a dreamlike space, arriving at Nine Heavens Palace.

Ling Xiao was astounded to discover that Nine Heavens Palace was situated within an independent space.

Virtually isolated from the outside, only accessible via a teleportation array.

That’s why the Xuanwu Divine Hall’s conspiracy didn’t lead to Nine Heavens Palace’s downfall.

However, upon arriving at Nine Heavens Palace, Ling Xiao realized how dire the situation was.

”This is our current situation. In the last incident, Nine Heavens Palace suffered heavy losses, leaving only eleven people in total.

Alas, now you understand, I’m truly desperate for talent. You joining Nine Heavens Palace will gain the finest Martial Arts and guidance.

Jiutian Lu and I will personally guide your training.”

Jiutian Meng glanced at Ling Xiao and his group, and shook her head with a bitter smile.

”Looks like we made the right gamble.”

Ling Xiao was not being self-deprecating, but rather honest.

In comparison, the five major forces of Xuanwu Continent have plenty of disciples, more than enough genius disciples.

Even though those geniuses can receive benefits upon joining, they won’t get as much as these people.

Nor as much freedom.

Jiutian Meng showed no airs in front of Ling Xiao and truly treated him as a friend.

She even considered giving Ling Xiao the palace master position of Nine Heavens Palace at that moment.

She probably understood deep down that a genius of Ling Xiao’s caliber, as long as he survives, will become a revered figure in the Mysterious World.

She and Xuan Ming would pale in comparison to this fearsome genius.

She witnessed Ling Xiao’s battles with other genius Martial Artists, noticing that even compared to Phoenix Feiye and Tianai Ba Tu, Ling Xiao was clearly a class above.

”Please have a seat, everyone, don’t be shy. Nine Heavens Palace is essentially just a small sect now. With only so many people, there aren’t many rules to speak of. If Nine Heavens Palace is revitalized in the future, you will all be the Grand Elders.”

Jiutian Meng not only treated Ling Xiao but also Ling Xiao’s friends with great courtesy.

Because she knew Ling Xiao was someone who valued relationships.

But while she was courteous, the others felt somewhat nervous.

Even though Nine Heavens Palace had only eleven people left, five were experts in the Reincarnation Realm, and the rest were in the Life-taking Realm, all far stronger than them.

Yet Ling Xiao didn’t have that nervousness.

Though his cultivation level wasn’t as high as theirs, he didn’t feel inferior.

Because he knew that in the future, he’d surpass them, and that time wouldn’t be far off.

Seeing Ling Xiao sit down, Leng Mei, Joshua Long, and others gradually took their seats, still feeling a bit uneasy.

Jiutian Meng smiled and said, ”Honestly, I should thank you for choosing Nine Heavens Palace, especially after understanding its current reality and still not giving up your initial thoughts.

Ling Xiao, could you talk about your relationship with the old palace master?”

Ling Xiao nodded; there wasn’t much to hide about it, so he broadly summarized the key points.

”I didn’t expect the old palace master to transfer the remnants of his cultivation to you. It seems, you’re indeed a half-disciple.”

Jiutian Meng listened to Ling Xiao’s words and found his gaze pure, with no hint of deception; she absolutely believed it was true.

So she earnestly said, ”I once made a grave mistake, causing the old palace master to fall into such a state. Today, I’ll let you have the position of Nine Heavens Palace’s palace master.”

”This cannot happen.”

Ling Xiao shook his head and replied.

”Do you despise this position?”

Jiutian Meng frowned slightly.

”To speak frankly, I am the Heavenly Emperor, and one day, this White Tiger Continent will belong to my Heavenly Dynasty. I have grand aspirations to rebuild the Ten Thousand Clans’ Sacred Dynasty and ultimately unify the entire Mysterious World.

If you truly want to give me the Nine Heavens Palace’s palace master position, I suggest you might as well have Nine Heavens Palace join the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, becoming a part of us.

In the future, when Heavenly Dynasty Empire dominates White Tiger Continent, your Nine Heavens Palace will be a Holy Land on White Tiger Continent.”

Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment but then spoke his true thoughts.
